I am not the author of the talk. I can say he checked the contents of
this thread and had a few colourful things to say about it, but did not
disagree with my recollection of what he said.

As I mentioned before, he's a long time attendee and presenter at ACCU.
I am inclined to believe whatever he claims, he knows his stuff.
